Yearly data from 1972 to 2024, from the World Bank.
Mexico's social contributions (current LCU) was 852.36 billion in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 125.27% from 378.37 billion in 2014 (8.46% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 852.36 billion | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 552.06 billion | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 378.37 billion | 2014 |
| Highest | 852.36 billion | 2024 |
| Lowest | 11 million | 1972 |
| Average since 2015 | 585.57 billion | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 11 million | 1972 |
Over five years it is up 54.4% from 552.06 billion in 2019 (9.08% a year on average, compounded). Since 1972 it is up 7.75 million% from 11 million in 1972 (24.17% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 7 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2024, Mexico's social contributions (current LCU) rose 11.9% on 2023 (from 761.51 billion to 852.36 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1986 to 2023), the average change was +24.8% and a typical year strayed about 34.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 159.8% in 1987. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 46.58 billion a year. A straight line explains 96% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Extending that straight line gives about 909.06 billion for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 97.91 billion, against 153.01 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

In 2024, Mexico had the 14th highest value of the 68 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Social contributions are actual or imputed contributions payable to social insurance schemes to make provisions for social benefits to be paid. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
Limitations: For most countries central government finance data have been consolidated into one account, but for others only budgetary central government accounts are available. Countries reporting budgetary data are noted in the country metadata. Because budgetary accounts may not include all central government units (such as social security funds), they usually provide an incomplete picture. In federal states the central government accounts provide an incomplete view of total public finance. Data on government revenue and expense are collected by the IMF through questionnaires to member countries and by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
